A Homeobox Protein, Prox1, Is Involved in the Differentiation, Proliferation, and Prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
15 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: It has been shown that a lymphatic differentiation master gene, prox1, also plays an essential role in fetal hepatocyte migration. Its expression is detected in embryonic hepatoblasts and in adult hepatocytes. Hepatoma cells are similar to embryonic hepatoblasts to a certain extent because they both proliferate and invade the surrounding tissue. To address the possibility that Prox1 may be involved in...
